Now, the Lincoln Civic Trust has said it is arranging an 'urgent meeting' with the City of Lincoln Council and are firmly against the plans.

Jeremy Wright of the charity said: "We are absolutely appalled at having another development in the Brayford Pool, obstructing views and reducing the enjoyment that people have walking through the area.

He added: "The Brayford Pool is a public asset and this iconic stretch of shimmering water in the centre of our city is unique, and draws visitors and residents alike.

"Our city needs appropriate and sensitive development, but the Lincoln Civic Trust submits that this intrusive and unnecessary development is a step too far."

David Rossington of Investors in Lincoln said he was 'very pleased' for the Brayford Trust when the planning inspectorate's decision was revealed, insisting money made from the development would go to the upkeep of the area.

A source at the Brayford Trust also told Lincolnshire Live that the cost of maintaining the Brayford was increasing year-on-year.
